Your trust means everything to our family and we intend to do everything we can to earn and keep it.

One of the keys to the success of our company is the business relationships we have formed with independent farmers. These relationships have provided opportunities for many hundreds of farmers and their families to stay on their family farms, to make investments in their future, to stabilize their incomes and to diversify their operations. These relationships have increased farm incomes and provided a level of financial stability that would not have been possible otherwise. Farmers who have contract production agreements with Smithfield’s Hog Production Division have been able to provide a higher standard of living for their families and to create real incentives for their children to remain in production agriculture if they are so inclined. All of these factors have the effect of preserving family farms as viable and sustainable enterprises, farms that otherwise would likely have gone out of production and could have been sold for other uses.
